Dalrymple, Kirby and Hwang (1984) have investigated the wave diffraction caused by energy dissipation in zones with bottom vegetation.Wang and T0rum (1994) and Duby and T0rum (1994) have dealt with the mutual i
(1993) estimated the energy dissipation due to rigid vegetation induced forces using the conservation of momentum for regular waves whose wave height decays exponentially. The analytical solution was compared with artificial kelp experiment conducted by Asano et al. (1988) and predicted wave attenuation...
Many organisms in highly wave-swept habitats are very small or live in aggregations to avoid the brunt of the flow, while others, such as kelp, are able to grow fast enough to become so large that they are never fully stretched out by the waves. For organisms capable of surviving in ...
wave dissipationIt is well known that the motion of flexible vegetation leads to drag reduction in comparison to rigid vegetation. In this study, we use a numerical model to investigate how the detailed motion of giant kelp fronds in response to forcing by surface gravity waves can impact the...

The vegetative strip, including kelp farms, salt marsh, mangrove forests, reed or reed-like emergent macrophyte aquatic vegetation, and even the novel Bragg breakwater, has been found to significantly affect the dissipation of wave energy and thus the attenuation of wave height at certain wave and...
which assume vegetation acts as a rigid canopy and that wave energy dissipation is principally due to the drag of vegetation. The analytical model developed by Zhu et al. [25] differs by considering the motion of suspended kelp canopies and was derived by simplifying and linearizing kelp blade ...
